AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment

The AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment resource deploys an API Gateway RestApi resource to a stage so that clients can call the API over the internet. The stage acts as an environment.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON


{
  "Type" : "AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment",
  "Properties" : {
      "DeploymentCanarySettings" : DeploymentCanarySettings,
      "Description" : String,
      "RestApiId" : String,
      "StageDescription" : StageDescription,
      "StageName" : String
    }
}

YAML


Type: AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment
Properties: 
  DeploymentCanarySettings: 
    DeploymentCanarySettings
  Description: String
  RestApiId: String
  StageDescription: 
    StageDescription
  StageName: String

Properties

Required: No

Type: DeploymentCanarySettings

Update requires: Replacement

Description

A description of the purpose of the API Gateway deployment.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

RestApiId

The ID of the RestApi resource to deploy.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

StageDescription

Configures the stage that API Gateway creates with this deployment.

Required: No

Update requires: No interruption

StageName

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the deployment ID, such as 123abc.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Examples

The following sections provide examples for declaring API Gateway deployments.

Deployment with an empty embedded stage

The following example deploys the MyApi API to a stage named DummyStage.

JSON


{
    "Deployment": {
        "Type": "AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment",
        "Properties": {
            "RestApiId": {
                "Ref": "MyApi"
            },
            "Description": "My deployment",
            "StageName": "DummyStage"
        }
    }
}

YAML


Deployment:
  Type: 'AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment'
  Properties:
    RestApiId: !Ref MyApi
    Description: My deployment
    StageName: DummyStage

AWS::ApiGateway::Method Dependency

If you create an AWS::ApiGateway::RestApi resource and its methods (using AWS::ApiGateway::Method) in the same template as your deployment, the deployment must depend on the RestApi's methods. To create a dependency, add a DependsOn attribute to the deployment. If you don't, AWS CloudFormation creates the deployment right after it creates the RestApi resource that doesn't contain any methods, and AWS CloudFormation encounters the following error: The REST API doesn't contain any methods.

JSON


{
    "Deployment": {
        "DependsOn": "MyMethod",
        "Type": "AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment",
        "Properties": {
            "RestApiId": {
                "Ref": "MyApi"
            },
            "Description": "My deployment",
            "StageName": "DummyStage"
        }
    }
}
